I may have missed what you're trying to prove or disprove here.
Well it started with I wanted to say that the myth that republicans win low income voters is wrong. I think we covered that?
From there is meandered into a much more open ended thing. So let me go back and start again.
Republicans dont have an advantage among rural voters. Rural areas just dont have many minorities, jews, gays and post-doctorate holders. The really strong republican bastions are with evangelical Christians, racists and rich old white people. While most rural areas have some of these it's only a few rural areas that have crazy big numbers of these. It's just rural areas have an overwhelming lack of the democratic groups.
So imagine you have the state of Demographia. In it you have:
-10 evengelical, racist old rich whites
-10 black gay jewish mexicans
-80 demographically uninteresting people
You hold an election in Demographia and it's a close call with each side getting 50% of the vote.
Now take all the ERROWs from demographia and move them to Alabama. Now when you hold the election, the liberals win it 50 votes to 40 votes. So suddenly rural voters are liberal! But they aren't. Rural voters are average joes. It's just they are average joes who are living without ERROW voters.
Now go back and instead take all the BGJMs and move them to New York. All those rural voters in Demographia suddenly skew really conservative. But it's the same voters. It's just the voters contain evengelicals, racists and rich old whites and dont contain any black gay jewish mexicans.
Pretty much all the BGJMs left for new york a long time ago. But the ERROWs mostly stayed put. So that means that rural areas skew conservative. But that doesn't mean rural people are conservative, it just means that all the liberals left rural areas. But we can see a few places where there aren't any ERROWs. Vermont is a place where there aren't any black jewish mexicans but there are gays and post-doctorate holders and there aren't many evengenlicals and racists.
The primaries are a horse of a different color but I need to stop staying up so late shitposting.
